MSQ Needs Further Condensing

[Kes13a]

The latest xpac, skips, and a subscription will cost a new player ~$115.

What will a new player think when they're told they can either play through hundreds of hours of required story just to catch up to their friends/get to the latest content

Or

Pay $115

It's outrageous to ask something like that from the player, and thankfully Square Enix have done trimming.

This trimming, when considered with the expedited MSQ leveling process is a clear sign that they see the length of the MSQ as a burier to entry for new customers.

you are assuming said new player only wants end game and isnt interested in anything else.

If that is the case, they may have picked the wrong game. unlike WoW for instance, where for the most part there is NO story thread, in FF XIV there is. it goes from your first story quest up to present.

if you are only interest in end game and dont care about the rest, then the price isnt too high since you are negating pretty much the full game. yes, everyone has different goals, but the journey in this game is important, maybe you just arent used to that.
